Planets are larger and more massive than asteroids,
but very nearly the same size and mass as planets.
Asteroids are called minor planets because they are celestial objects that orbit the sun just like planets do, but they are much smaller in size compared to planets. The term "minor" distinguishes them from the larger, more traditional planets in our solar system.
No Asteroids are too small to be considered planets.
Asteroids are smaller than planets. A few of the asteroids are fairly large; Ceres, for example, is a "dwarf planet" that's bigger than Pluto. But many of the asteroids are a few miles, or a few dozen miles, across. That isn't very big, compared to Mars or Earth.
planets are apart and help are solar system and asteroids hit are planets
Comets are generally fairly large, dozens or hundreds of miles in diameter. Small compared to planets or asteroids, but large compared to meteors or dust.
Planets are generally larger than asteroids. Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, while planets are larger celestial objects that have cleared their orbit of other debris. Some asteroids can be quite large, but they are still dwarfed by the size of planets.
Asteroids and Comets
Planetoids, or minor planets.
Asteroids can fall on any planet (or moon).
Asteroids.
its the comets are smaller than planets, moons, and asteroids. In order of size, usually comets < asteroids < moons < planets
Asteroids generally have more eccentric and inclined orbits compared to planets, which typically have more circular and aligned orbits. Asteroids can intersect the orbits of planets and have a wider range of distances from the sun. Planets, on the other hand, tend to orbit in a more stable and predictable manner.
